Psionic teleporting horrors of the nebula pillar

The Nebula Floater is a floating cerebral entity that defends the Nebula Pillar. Drifting through celestial space with 1,300 life and 20 defense, it possesses advanced psionic abilities. It fires high-velocity laser beams that travel across the screen for 75 base damage, while its brain-like appendages distort gravity around the player.

Punishing evasive warps with rapid-fire tracking

Whenever a Nebula Floater sustains damage, it frequently warps away to a new vantage point, vanishing into cosmic mist and reappearing at the edge of vision. Slow, single-target projectile weapons often miss as the creature teleports mid-flight. Continuous fire from chain guns, homing magic like Nebula Blaze, or aggressive summoner minions ensure steady pressure despite its constant spatial blinking. In Master mode, its vitality scales to 3,900 life with 225 damage.

Trivia

  • Nebula Floaters frequently teleport to a new location when struck by player attacks.
  • They can spawn optical Nebula Eye projectiles that fire focused energy lasers.
